Geospatial Data Curation & Enrichment

Data curation and data enrichment services unlock the full value of geospatial assets. At 1898 & Co., our global team of geographic information system (GIS) professionals helps utilities and critical infrastructure organizations transform legacy datasets into modern, reliable and intelligent systems of record, ready for planning and operations.



HOW WE HELP

Utilities and infrastructure organizations face increasing pressure to modernize their geospatial systems across their utility operations. That transformation begins with data. From legacy as-builts and CAD drawings to near real-time operational models, geospatial information must be accurate, well-structured and logically connected to reflect actual system conditions.

Our GIS data curation and enrichment services help utilities change fragmented and outdated records into actionable GIS data that supports operations, compliance and system modernization. We support this transformation through a tailored, utility-focused approach that includes:

  • Reducing as-built backlogs cost-effectively and efficiently by digitizing historical as-builts, redlines and field markups so GIS data reflects true, in-service infrastructure conditions.
  • Remediating GIS data to support ArcGIS Utility Network readiness and migration, including identification and correction of structural, attribution and connectivity issues.
  • Managing land records and digitizing easements to improve right-of-way visibility, asset accountability and planning confidence across assets.
  • Enriching network models to support ADMS readiness and other real-time operational platforms that rely on accurate connectivity and asset intelligence.
  • Supporting gas tracking and traceability, as well as traceable, verifiable and complete (TVC) initiatives through improved data management, asset attribution and spatial accuracy.

OUR APPROACH

Our geospatial specialists possess deep utility experience, broad platform fluency and cost-effective global delivery, gained through supporting electric, gas, water/wastewater and fiber networks. As utilities advance their GIS capabilities, they face challenges tied to legacy tools, inconsistent data and complex environments.

We partner with clients through every phase of GIS transformation, providing practical, scalable and platform-agnostic support that meets them where they are. Our GIS data curation and enrichment services deliver measurable value beyond data cleanup. By transforming legacy and fragmented datasets into trusted, well-structured geospatial information, our clients gain the foundation needed to operate more efficiently, reduce risk and move forward with confidence in their digital transformation initiatives. We help by providing:

  • Platform experience. Operate seamlessly across Esri ArcGIS, GE Smallworld, Schneider ArcFM, SBS AUD, GSI DDS and other major platforms to reduce migration and upgrade risk by resolving data quality, structure and connectivity issues early.
  • Utility Network readiness. Build actionable remediation plans and prepare data for ArcGIS Utility Network migration, enabling stronger capital planning, asset management and system expansion decisions.
  • Automated quality. Use automation, standardized models, repeatable processes, templates and validation logic to speed delivery, improve data quality and reduce long term GIS maintenance.
  • End to end guidance. Deliver strategic road maps and hands on production support through blended global teams, enabling accurate network data that strengthens daily operations, outage response and maintenance planning.
  • Global scalability. Scale backlog reduction, CAD conversion and data remediation with 24 hour global operations to meet high volume demands and maintain audit ready, defensible asset and network records.
  • Intelligent data operations. Structure and enrich geospatial data to support AI—machine learning, predictive modeling and intelligent automation while improving regulatory confidence and long term system reliability.
